A good name is also memorable, consistent, easily decipherable, and works around namespace conflicts. Might be a best 2.7 out of 4 situation, I guess. Why 2.7/4 and not 3/4? Because the remainder was lost in translation to the ASC

As an aside, there are also ISO B and C series paper, although I believe that the C standard was withdrawn somewhat recently. The area of B_n is the geometric mean of that of A_n and A_{n-1}, while the area of C_n is the geometric mean of t

I'm curious what 'useful' feature set of a laundry machine is enabled by Internet access. The only thing that comes to mind is remote access e.g. to change washer/dryer settings or to check cycle progress, but surely imp
